Yep... I too export a wave from my DAW and then use a standalone 3rd party converter to do the conversion.


I like NCH's Wavepad. It's free and does a few other things beside converting waves to MP3. I use it to normalize the wave.... and then trim the silence at the beginning and end BEFORE I use it to convert to MP3.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
